We're not sure how many people have both NES and Famicom collections sitting around, but we are sure that even if you only have one or the other, you're going to want an Analogue Nt. The details around the console are a little thin, but we do know it's a reengineered NES that also accepts Famicom games, offers what's promised as videophile graphics and audiophile sound, allows up to four players, doesn't rely on emulation, and is made from a solid block of aluminum. And that's good enough for us.

Forget next-gen consoles — if Valve has their way, 2014 will be the year of the Steam Machine. And with 14 companies cranking out the boxes, it's not as easy as buying, say, a PS3. Which is why we've got our eyes on the Alienware Steam Machine ($TBA). Crafted by one of the most trusted names in PC gaming, this sleek black box will be powered by an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU, and will (of course) run SteamOS, giving you access to tons of games running natively, and thousands more available via in-home streaming. It's like a HTPC, evolved.

Games on the iPhone are great, and they only seem to get better — but controlling a game by tilting, shaking, and occasionally poking at a glass screen leaves something to be desired. With the Moga Ace Power Controller ($100), you get all the controls you're used to with console gaming, without sacrificing the convenience and portability of your phone. The controller expands to cradle your phone, and collapse back down to a small size to fit in your pocket or bag. It features dual analog sticks, a directional button, four action buttons, as well as left and right bumpers and triggers. Best yet, the controller also doubles as an extra battery pack, letting you keep a charge while you play. Compatible with all fifth generation iPhones and iPod touches.

A modern reinvention of the house slipper, Mahabis Classic Slippers are far more than just something you slip on to get the morning paper. The sleek, award winning one-piece upper is comfortable on its own, but transforms into a quasi-shoe with the detachable TPU sole, letting you transition from indoor to outdoor wear in seconds. Made in Europe, they come in two shades of gray with a choice of sole colors, and are also available in nubuck leather or a breathable mesh that's great for warm weather.

The classic shirt jacket gets an upgrade in the Todd Snyder Japanese Knit Field Jacket. Made from densely-knit Japanese fabric, it fits well over both simple tees and button-ups. It has a four-pocket design that recalls its military heritage, a hidden inner pocket, and a covered button closure. Made in Canada and available in a versatile sheetmetal hue that pairs well with a wide variety of other hues.

While we've watched as game systems have evolved exponentially over the years, not much monumental has happened to controllers since the invention of the joystick — that is, until the Steam Controller ($TBA). After announcing plans to build an operating system and console based on their popular PC-based gaming platform Steam, the guys at Valve set out to build an input device that would bring the control of a keyboard and mouse into the living room. Based around two circular trackpads that replace the familiar joysticks, it features advanced haptic feedback and a built-in touchscreen that let you play games formerly reserved only for desktop machines.

The PlayStation Vita TV ($100) packs an incredible amount of entertainment potential into a truly tiny console, capable of playing games, video, music, and much more. This little device is a miniaturized internet-connected console, built to natively play PS Vita games on your HD TV, instead of that small handheld. It offers easy access to Sony's subscription music and video services, as well as a growing handful of third-party apps like Hulu. Perhaps the most exciting feature, it will act as a bridge for the yet-to-be-released Playstation 4, letting you play PS4 games in another room even while the console is in use. So far sale plans have been announced in Japan for November — but you should expect it in America shortly thereafter. [via]
